Hello! Today was sea trial of the Ferretti 430!
TAMD 74P
Volvo say 2600rpm rev limit.
2200rpm cruise 23.5knot 150l/h (volvo display)
This was very good and I was happy.
At WOT 2430rpm!!!!
The hull cleaned very good!
I ask him why that? He told me that 10 years is like this the boat!
Nothing bad with smoke to think about fuel pumps and injectors. The engine works very good and the turbo also look to spool nice. 205kpa the display show!
So what else? Wrong propellers! They are too long the propellers for this boat.
If I will fix the propellers to have 150rpm more what will be with the fuel consumption?
At 2200 I will loose some speed theoretically! Also I think that the fuel rate (150l/h) will not decrease !
So in theory I will have worse fuel consumption?
